Food forest

They/them, multi-fandom!! (Unsuprisingly)

Doing an ATLA rewatch and I realized that I’m just. Really fond of Jet. Like yeah he’s terrible he did do all that but really he’s a radicalized kid trying to protect people and fight against oppression.

Another jetko WIP 👀

Text under cut!

“I guess you really did stick it to the Fire Nation,” Smellerbee says, a little bit unhinged, while Jet is deep-breathing in a corner, and he doesn’t stop himself from shoving her.

He had come to terms with the fact that Li was probably Fire, was the thing. He’d struggled with it and ultimately decided, against everything he’d previously stood for, that he liked Li anyway. He had made the conscious choice to let it go and to keep seeing him. Jet had grown from where he used to be to even allow himself to make that choice.

Jet doesn’t wander off to get drunk this time, because he’s still not fully healed from being almost crushed to death, but he does do a lot of laying down and staring blankly off into the distance.

“I still don’t think he was seducing you for nefarious purposes,” Smellerbee tells him on one such occasion. “I remember him being way too awkward for that.”

Jet turns his stare onto his friends. “Then what the hell was he doing?”

Longshot shrugs. Smellerbee says, looking kind of haunted, “I think he just liked you.”

Jet can’t argue with that. He doesn’t know what to do about it.

He imagines the name Zuko on his tongue, but it doesn’t taste as nearly as sweet as Li.

I didn't hate NATLA as much as most people, but one thing I am really sad about is the handling of Jet's storyline. He would never shrug his shoulders at refugees starving, the whole reason he recruits Zuko is to 'liberate some food' for everyone, not just himself. I also feel like his hatred for the fire nation wasn't given any context - his story and flashbacks are some of the darkest in the og series. He represents the people who can't forgive, the people whose sense of identity is intrinsically tied to the war.

Something I noticed about Jet/Zuko's interactions and arcs in NATLA (Which I won't label as positive or negative. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. It's just something I've been thinking about.)

The first time I watched the ferry episode, I audibly said, "Hey, what the fuck?" About Jet's behavior, because it was so obviously different. But the more I thought about it, I started thinking the same about Zuko's.

Then something clicked. Their dynamic is almost entirely flip-flopped.

In the original, it is Zuko who wants to steal from the captain for self-serving purposes. He thinks it's unfair that they have better food, but for entirely selfish reasons. He wants the better food because he's royatly; he's above eating pig slop. There's a sense of entitlement driving him. Jet also sees it as unfair, but in the way that the people are being treated as lesser. The refugees, as a community, deserve dignified meals.

In NATLA, this is turned on its head. Zuko is now the one stealing to help someone: his Uncle, and then by proxy, the others on the ferry (Which sets up his Blue Spirit Robin Hood-esque shenanigans later on). And it is now Jet who is doing it for entirely self-serving reasons.

Their stories follow a similar trajectory. Instead of Jet sneaking around Ba Sing and getting into trouble, it is now Zuko doing so. Instead of Zuko feeling jaded and angry and sort of just slogging through City life, that is now Jet. It is Jet who has to discover a sense of hope within his new life, and in turn, it is now Zuko who feels the need to protect the Fire Nation refugees from Jet, and not the other way around.

Just something I noticed.

Zuko finding out that he and Katara had the same ex-situationship because of the ember island play will never not be funny to me
